LITTLETON KILLED.
Jc. B. Banks Empties Four Loads Of
Buckshot Into His Body.
The Oowardlyl Assassin Lies in Ambush
and Shoots His Victim in the Back.

John ]. LittIeton, editor Of the
National Review, was shot down on
the streets last Saturday morning
about $50 o'clock by 10. r. Banks,
on High street, between Church and
Broad. Banks was concealed in 3
vacant house with two shotguns
loaded with 16 buckshot in each
barrel, all four of which he fred ct a
distance of So feet, and 36 of them
struck his victim. Littleton was ON
his way down town from his home
and was shot from ambush. At the
first shot he fell and his own pistol
fell from his pocket. One barrel
was discharged and it is not certain
whether he fred at Banks or not.
All the shots but three went into
his legs and left arm, and those
three went into his side and groin
and it was feared had penetrated
his liver. As soon as his guns were
exhausted Banks turned and run
and Littleton lying upon the ground
exclaimed:
"Watch the d-n coward run from
q dead mani"
Banks ran down an alley and
thence on to the Jail and surrender
ed b imself and told what he had
done. Littleton scrambled to his
feet and staggered back towards
home, clutching at the walls and
fences, before assistance arrived.
Drs. Briggs, Nichol and Eve were

POLITICAL ASSASSINATION
Littleton's ..Life Taken Because HI
was Blaine Man.

It was conceded that Mr.. John
]. Littleton was the most powerful
man in his party in the south, ct
least to the extent that he could
force either Blaine or Sherman. and
perhaps Lincoln, upon it at his
pleasure. It can be thus seen what
an important parsonage he was and
will account for the desperate meas
ures adopted to control him.
That Mr.. Littleton's assassina-
ton was determined upon by the
Sherman managers is . fact that
has not been revealed. Mr.. Little
ton himself had warning OF it and
his sudden turn to Sherman was
the result. He has always been
. rampant Blaine man and the re-
cent meeting of the republican
clubs in New York was concocted
in the Sherman interest and more
especially to convert Littleton. Lit
tleton converted meant the whole
south for Sherman. He was ca
joled, begged, feasted, threatened
but i-e resolutely irefused to desert
the Plumed Knight.
Then council was held and it
was decided to force him or kill
him, and be was notified. He dared
them to the last. On the day be.
fore the assault he was waited upon
finally and the demand made that
his newspaper should come out fol
Sherman the next morning, and he
refused with bitter curses. He had
already then prepared the article
that announced his flop, and prin-
ters, sworn to secrecy, we're put
ting it in type, and Littleton wal

He had provocation that would
justify any man in shooting anothe

how. 1t wss decided!
Old John Cockrell, the buzzard
orator, an INSCRIPTIONS, ignorant
republican, was sent to hire the
room. he told it that he wanted it
for committee. He told it also
that he knew of what was coming.
The fact is that they decided first
to employ Cockrell for the bloody
deed, and then when it Was done
they were to become Infatuated,
raise mob and kill the negro be-
fore he could squeal. But they
could not induce him to do it. Az
ter approaching him, however, they
had to let him into the scheme, a.
is evident from what he has said.
And they will leave him to his fate.
They will swear Banks out and let
old John go.
When the decision was made IN
council Banks prepared himself and
went into hiding before day, and
the committee into retirement to
prove alibis. Every man of them
was sick (3) in bed that morning.
so that none of them saw Littleton's
paper and did not know that he had
recanted, and the deed was done
before any one knew it.
Their CONSERVATION may he i'm
agined when they saw it was q
needless sacrifice. Littleton was
going down town that morning feel
ing more secure than he had felt 10
some time, elated and in good spir-
its. He had saved his own life
and he had secured q cabinet place
under Sherman at one fine stroke.
He realized instantly that Banks
was acting under a mistake and
the very first thing he said was to
tell him chat is enough; don't
fire again" Littleton in his pre-
mortem statement said he had been
warned. He knew what they had
intended and he saw instantly that
his recantation had not been read
and that Banks was acting under
misapprhenslon and hence his
significant words.

Littleton's Assassination.

John j. Littleton ought to have
been shot, but he ought to have
been shot in the face. A dog will
be given q chance for his life by
brave man. His denunciations of
Cisco, of Kercheval, Reid, Ashcraft,
Banks, Nef and many others have
been without precedent in bitterness.
Such things always end in blood,
and ought to. Banks may have
been guilty of the filthy things of
which Littleton accused him-we
know not-bat that does not ex-
cuse Littleton for Publishing it. He
knew he deserved to be shot, for he
went prepared for it, but he had q
right to expect to be attacked in
front.
We hope Littleton will get we'll j:
because we want to see no man kill
ed out of his time; because We do
not like to see an assassin succeed
because he is clever fellow barr
ing the habit that led to this; be-
cause he is a running sore on the
body of his party; because We like
him personally; because his good
wife and little boy are democrats.
We want to see him get we'll and
sound, and some day we want to
see Tom Kercheval catch him un-
armed and beat him nearly tc
deaths door with q big stick; and
then when he gets well We, want
to see him catch Tom Kercheva
unarmed and beat him little worse
than that.
And then Littleton will learn some
sense. He must be decent o.
somebody will kill him yet. Other
men have feelings that are entitled
to respect, and responsibility thai
has to be defended. The assassin
of character deserves to be aSsassi-
mated by his victim whom he has
goaded into desperation.
| Six weeks ago, pending the vitu-
perative Midland controversy, TIL
CITIZEN foretold the end of it, and i
counseled then that the laws agains

enact law TO be given in charge b,

And now it has come to exactl,
that. If Banks was slandered ant
, | if he had shot Littleton IN the face
no jury would convict him.
If Littleton survives and it take
the meanness out of him, he ca
make great man. He has the ele
ments of it but he has grossly pros
